This is the heart of what we do. You'll work inside a client's home helping an older adult sort a lifetime of belongings, pack what's coming with them, and unpack it on the other end so the new place feels like home on the first night. The work is physical and it is emotional, and the families remember the person who did it well.

• Guide sorting sessions room by room, at the client's pace, with every decision theirs
• Pack carefully and label by destination room, with extra care for fragile and sentimental pieces
• Keep an accurate inventory so nothing goes missing

• Photograph and document items headed for sale, donation, or family
• Communicate warmly and clearly with clients and their adult children throughout

• Patience with older adults, and the instinct to slow down when someone needs a minute
• Genuine care for people going through a hard season
• Attention to detail, especially with fragile and irreplaceable things
• Discretion and integrity in someone's home and among their belongings
• Reliability, because a family is counting on the day going as planned

What the job requires

• Able to lift up to 25 pounds, stand for extended periods, and bend and reach repeatedly, with or without reasonable accommodation
• Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and current auto insurance
• A smartphone, and comfort using apps for checklists, photos, and schedules
• Willing to work in homes that are dusty, cluttered, or in disrepair
• Able to read, write, and speak English well enough to follow plans and talk with clients
• Authorized to work in the United States
• Offers are contingent on a background check
